SMOKING IS NEVER COOL!I smelt cigarette smoke when I was still trying to get back to sleep in the middle of this early morning. Firstly, it's my next door neighbour who's been smoking almost every early morning from 4+am to about 5+am, causing the smoke to drift into my bedroom. I feel really irritated.. but don't know how to react to this matter as I don't really want to make a fuss out of this and embarrass everyone as a result. Sigh... What should I really do? Can someone please advise me? Thanks!
Continuing on with my story, I woke up after sleeping so soundly from 5+am onwards to 6.45am when my watch alarm started ringing. Prepared myself for the LAST PAPER OF THE DAY! As I walked towards the bus-stop, a very tall man (about 1.85m) walked past me and I didn't really take note of him. HOWEVER, after that passing by, I SMELT CIGARETTE SMOKE! ok nevermind.. I shall TAHAN! Then, I proceeded to the bus-stop and waited for my bus 67 to arrive. During the wait, an old man walked past, smoking! Grrrr... That's when I wanted to come online to blog about SMOKING tonight! -_-" !
OK. So this matter ended temporarily after the bus-stop venue. Unfortunately, I went Takashimaya makan-ing with Youxin and Jell today. Along the streets, we saw a group of youngsters dressed flamboyantly. I thought one of them look pretty, but as Youxin and I looked closely, we both had the same expression on our faces. She came over, "You must have the same thought as I do--I hate girls who smoke!" GOOD! I was so 'reactive' by her comment that I just exclaimed, "YEAH!!! SO UNCOOL!!!" Actually, even before she came over to tell me, I wanted to shout out my thoughts, but a guy walked past me so I prevented words from escaping my mouth at the wrong time, so that I don't embarrass the girl or myself in public.
There are still many other smokers whom I walked past. I really cannot tolerate so many of these smokers. Especially when the prohibited smoking areas in Singapore are increasing island-wide, I can understand the fact that everwhere I walk along the streets, there's bound to be at least 1 person who smokes and I would have to smell his/her smoke. Not that I'm intolerant, but I really don't understand why smokers chose to smoke.
Disadvantages of smoking:
1) waste money
2) made of harmful substances which damage your precious health
3) useless stuff (I'd rather spend my money and health on something more meaningful than cigarettes!)
4) makes you look so UNCOOL (smokers think they look cool?? THEY'RE SO WRONG!)
5) inconsiderate (especially to 2nd-hand smokers)
6) creates extra waste
7) allows cigarette producers to continue such a bad deed (producing harmful products to humans, they'll be scarred for life!)
I bet you can think of more. ^_-
Just to appeal to all the young people out there:
Please take good care of your health. As the saying goes, 'Health is Wealth!' Don't be pressurized by your peers just to be accepted by them. It's not always that difficult to say 'NO' to smoking or drugs as well. No matter what, health is of utmost important to each and everyone of us. Plus, you have only ONE life. Treasure it.
